Homework $9$B: DUELING BLACKJACK

BlackJack Twixt $2$ Players plus $1$ Dealer

Program$9-1$ simulates pulling cards from a deck and Program$9-1$B $($see attached$)$ simulates a single player playing BlackJack against a dealer.

Enhance this approach by creating a BlackJack game between two virtual players. This particular version is called: Dueling BlackJack. The cards have the values given in Program$9-1$ and Program$9-1$B$,$ with the following caveat:

Aces will take the value of $11$ as long as the sum total of the cards in a person's hand does not exceed $21.$

o If the sum total does exceed $21,$ the Ace will take the value of $1.$

Call your program

YourName$-$Hwrk$9$B$.$py

Every time a new game is begun, your name should appear first, at the top, showing whose casino the players are playing at$.$

DUELING BLACKJACK: Here are the Rules

The program should deal cards to each player, one card at a time, until one player's hand is worth more than $21$ points.

Each time one card is given to each player, this is called a deal $($e$.$g$.$ deal $1,$ deal $2,$ etc.$)$

When, in a particular deal, one person's hand exceeds $21,$ the other player is declared the winner. The game is over.

When one person attains a score of exactly $21$ points, that person will receive no further draws. The other player will continue to receive draws until $($s$)$he exceeds $21$ or gets the score of $21.$

The players have no choice here, they must accept a hit or not according to this rule.

If both players get a score of $21,$ then the outcome is a Tie Score and both players win. This is the one instance in which the Dealer is said to lose.

It is possible that both players' hands will simultaneously exceed $21$ points, in which case neither player wins, hence the Dealer is said to win.

Remember, If a player is dealt an ace, the program decides the value of the card according to the following rule:

The ace will be worth $11$ points, unless that makes the player's hand exceed $21$ points. In that case the ace will be worth $1$ point

Tips for Insuring Cards are Dealt Randomly

You will want to use the Random$()$ function to ensure that your cards are selected randomly.

For example, when a player receives a card from the dealer, there are three steps involved:

The first step ensures that a particular card is chosen randomly from the deck.

The second step removes that card from the deck, and it is given to the player.

The third step adds that card's value to the player's current hand.

$$ does the program give you the correct result when hand $1$ wins?

$$ does the progrsm give you the

correct result when hand $2$ wins

$$ does the program give the correct reseult when both hands exceed $21$

$$ does the progrsm skip desling an additional card to hand thay already has $21$

$$ does program make ace $=11$ when the total is $<=21$

$$ does the program make ace $=1$ when the total would be greater than $21$ otherwise
